Graduate Programs: PhD Minor
The Graduate Minor is designed for doctoral students in any department at
Ohio State. It allows students to supplement their graduate studies with
a broader understanding of the theoretical, historical, and methodological
concerns related to interdisciplinary studies of cultural and cross-cultural
issues.
The Graduate Minor requires 20 credit hours of coursework to include Comparative
Studies 710 and 711, Approaches to Comparative Cultural Studies I and II, which
examine the history and theory of comparative and interdisciplinary studies of
culture. Ten additional credits are to be chosen from the Department’s
600-800-level courses in Comparative Studies. The latter are chosen according
to the specific interests of each student, upon consultation with the student’s
own advisor and the Minor Program advisor. No more than one 600-level course
may count toward the Graduate Minor, and no course counted for the Minor may
be counted in the student’s own departmental degree program.
Graduate students may enroll in the Graduate Minor in Comparative Cultural Studies by completing the Graduate Minor Program Form available in the Comparative Studies office, 451 Hagerty Hall. Interested students should contact the academic program coordinator, Marge Lynd, at lynd.1@osu.edu, (614) 292.2559, 308 Dulles Hall; or contact the graduate studies committee chair, Barry Shank, at shank.46@osu.edu.
